with Davina Wellesley

As we feel the unfurling of spring, join Davina for a weekend of tranquility and transformation in the beautiful, luxurious and peaceful 42 Acres in Somerset.

Nature is expressing determination and creativity and there’s a sense of renewal all around and while the winter is a time to conserve energy and reduce activity, spring is a time of regeneration, renewal and birth, with an upward expansive movement of creativity, planning, vision and perspective. This time of year, in accordance with Chinese Medicine, relates to the element Wood which will also inform our practice this weekend. As nature is changing around us it’s important to remain in harmony with the prevailing seasons.

This weekend in nature will encourage perspective and acceptance for where we are and encourage our creativity to flow so we can map our evolution for the coming months. Our asana practice will reflect this, in the morning there will be a more Yang practice moving and feeling our way into the day. There will be a Yin practice to close the day helping to remove stagnation and encouraging a smooth flow of energy around the body, leaving us feeling relaxed and rejuvenated.

No yoga experience is necessary for the weekend retreat, beginners and advanced practitioners are equally welcome, the pose modifications will be offered to both. There will be an opportunity to have one to one yoga class on the Saturday or the Sunday, for an additional cost, where you can work on any aspect of your practice you desire.

As part of the weekend we will be journaling our minds, emotions and moods as its a very effective way of seeing or acknowledging ourselves truly. Through mindfulness and some gentle meditations we will tap into what needs to be released and what needs to be cultivated.
